Patient
I need a nurse that does not smoke. I'm spending a ton of money and my time to work with medical professionals to figure out my medical challenges and I need a safe and healthy environment supportive of my health. The nurse wreaked of cigarette smoke and was so soft spoken. It honestly was just icky and I wish St Luke's would hold a higher standard with medical professionals. I appreciate her as a human being and I understand people choose that lifestyle but please not while I'm getting medical care and in close proximity to someone who's taking my blood pressure and working in close quarters with me. Alina was sweet and supportive. She seems very knowledgeable and thorough from a western medicine standpoint.
